I can’t pretend to be a true IU fan. As a kid, I simply rooted for every school in Indiana.
But as a “Hoosier” it’s been impossible to not get wrapped up in the football turnaround of @IUHoosiers. Such an incredible fan base and university town. Home game in ATL last night.
It’s interesting, as a golfer I always wish I could play a sport where amplifying the adrenaline provides the maximum performance benefit. I love to feel hyped up.
Fascinating that the Heisman trophy winner is searching for peace and calm before the game.
Fernando Mendoza on his favorite pregame hype song
"I honestly don't listen to hype songs because I have to stay cool, calm, and collected. I actually meditate and pray before the game. I think praying, in a way, is meditation to help myself be in my thoughts, as Quarterback is a cerebral position."

One of the best second half individual performances I have ever seen. Kid put the team in his back. Scored or assisted on 40 of the last 42 points. Unreal
I’ve been lucky to be a member of the Bears Club since I turned pro in 2014. I never take for granted being a part of such an incredible place and going to work around the best players on the planet.
There’s a lot to say about the current situation in collegiate athletics. But my take is that kids and athletes in general could be better at handling adversity. That is where the growth lies.
Wow: The legendary Tom Brady was asked if he would have stayed at Michigan in today’s portal/NIL era.
His answer is PRICELESS.

I see this all the time and am guilty of it myself. Bad bounce, lip out, untimely bogey. The world is against you…
Great reminder that no one cares and the world owes you absolutely nothing.
There’s power and agency in knowing that.
Nick Saban explains why you're not entitled to anything in life.
"You get up every day, you're entitled to: Nothing."
"Nothing is acceptable, but your best."
You get what you earn in life. That's it.
No one owes you success, opportunity or playing time. Those are things you earn.
Show up, do the work, and earn it every day - not because you're told to, but because that's the standard you hold yourself to.
Your thoughts drive what you want - your actions drive what you get.
The gap between the two? That's where most people fail.

Some people are just built different @SahilBloom
Do hard things.
I’m turning 35 on Monday. So I got on the treadmill early this morning and ran 35 miles.
If I talk about it, I’m going to be about it.

The golfers paradox:
In order to work, build and prepare we need an analytical brain, self critical, facing weakness and building new skills.
In competition, we need freedom, self belief, trust and a lack of attachment to the outcome.
Success is being able to access both.

So lucky to live in a place with abundant sunshine. In the chaos of life it’s easy to take the little things for granted.

How you do anything is how you do everything. Hold yourself to excellence because you deserve it.

This hit home. Working hard down the wrong path is part of the growth and progress to get closer to your goals. Experimentation and iteration are necessary to building the future we want. We don’t have to get it right every time.
Every week in airports, I find myself wasting the dead time by scrolling through my phone. I watch anyone with a free moment and they do the same. We are all addicted.
In 2026, one of my main priorities is to use this dead time to do something meaningful. Read, reflect, think.
Reflection requires stillness.
One cost of rushing from thing to thing is that you lose the space to think. Hard work matters, but nonstop motion often hides a quiet truth: you could have used your time better.
If you never pause, you confuse activity with effectiveness. Make time to think. Walk outside. Sit quietly. Create space. Then move again, but this time on purpose.
This holiday season, thank a service worker, give a generous tip, or simply show kindness to the people that work so hard to make the holidays special for all of us.
Small acts make a big difference.

Merry Christmas everyone!
A Christmas morning reflection…
95%
By the time your child turns 18, you've spent ~95% of the time you will ever spend with them in your lifetime.
There are specific windows, much shorter than you care to admit, during which certain people and relationships will occupy your life.
You may have only one more summer with all of your siblings. Two more trips with that old group of friends. A few more years with your grandpa. A handful of encounters with that coworker you love. One more long walk with your parents.
If you fail to appreciate these windows, they will quickly disappear.
Time Wealth is about an awareness of these windows.
But more importantly, it’s about taking action against that awareness.
It's about recognizing that you are in more control of your time than you realize.
That you can take actions to create time with the people you love most.
That you can bend these curves.
That 95% is an average—and you’ve never wanted to be average in anything your entire life.
So, show up to that recital. Plan that trip with old friends. Grab that quick coffee. Go on that walk with your parents. Have that meal with your sibling.
In the end, it's not about the journey, it's not about the destination, it's about the company. The people along the way.
Cherish the people and the rest will fall into place as it should.
